i posted my first topic a few months ago, asking people for advice because my boyfriend is a jw, and will not understand why i will not convert.. we are currently not together, but friends.
he still insists on me staring another bible study.
i have asked him questions about 1914, and the 144,000, but he keeps avoiding them.. anyways, he continues to say only his faith has "the truth".. so finally, i asked him, "if you have the truth, why does the organization continue to update their beliefs (for example, the new revelation book coming out has something like over 50 'updated' things in it), yet claim each time, their new beliefs are definite, and the truth/light?".
Good Job!
No matter what happens in the near future between you and he, he will always have your words ringing in his head.
When I was 10 and going door to door preaching, the person at the door ask me a question which has rang in my ears for forty years? The question was: Do you read these magazines?
The point was how can you tell me if you haven't read it yourself.
Good Luck

The wise men I know brought me Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. I threw the frankincense and myrrh away but kept the gold.
I wonder if Joseph used his to buy a room the next night at the Wyndham Bethlehem Resort?
Just what did he do with the Gold?
well,my dad called last night, crying.
he says armageddon's about to start and he doesn't want to lose me.
he said i either need to become a good jw and go to the meetings, or he will have to distance himself from me so that he won't be so attached to me when the big a hits.
Gary makes a good point try to bring him into the rational world.
BTW Habe you ever tried inviting dad and mom to your house for an evening of sociaization i.e. dinner or snacks and a game or a movie?
Then when he brings up jw-ism mention there's a time and a place and now it's time for a game of scrable or the movie Dogma with Adam Sandler.
Good Luck

most of us know the story--president clinton's national security advisor removed classified documents and hid them near a construction trailer, and later tried to retrieve them.
upon being detected, he agreed to pay a hefty fine and admitted that he had been caught.. same old story.

my friend called and told me there were 3 announcements last night at the kh saying x, x, & x are no longer jw's.
they all da'd themselves.
all 3 sent letters out to a select group of friends and family before they gave their letters to the elders.
